I'll volunteer to provide the coffee. I have 3,000 lbs of the best coffee in the world sitting in a warehouse not far from Apple HQ.
The best? Not for long if it stays in that warehouse.
If you (one), has a great idea - you'd better be sure - it might be money well spent. You have 45 mins to convince him you are the second techno coming.
How much does TC get paid a year? How much is 45mins of his time worth?

Actually the warehouse specializes in ONLY green coffee and it is completely climate controlled. Plus, this coffee is vacuumed sealed which keeps it totally fresh for several months. But don't worry it will be sold as quickly as WWDC tickets when I put it on the market next month. But... most people tend to put cream and sugar in their coffee which would totally ruin the experience. You might as well be drinking Folger's. But the offer is out there if they want it.
Someone trying to make a lame gay joke? Given that allegedly Tim is gay and refuses to come out of the closet. How else you explain a wireless, childless, girlfriendless adult male working at a gay friendly company and featured in Out Magazine (cause they never pay attention to straight people). So what if you have seen him with a boyfriend either. Clearly he's gay.
Interesting about those degrees. I expected the MBA but a BS in Industrial Engineering was not what I thought to see. Figured it would be another business related degree.
But don't worry it will be sold as quickly as WWDC tickets when I put it on the market next month.
You should sell it at WWDC. License a food truck and call it your special Coder's blend. You could mark it up like 500% and call it a coffee tax. No cream or sugar allowed.

It will be so gone by that date. Last year what little of the coffee that actually made to consumers was being sold for more than $20 for a 12 oz. cup.
I'll bet you a euro when her assistant reminds her of this appointment come "Coffee Day", she'll get really annoyed & rush through it really quick -- having never given the mater a single thought until being reminded of it.
Then the winner will feel cheated out of thier money & that'll be that.
Its obviously a takeoff of Warren Buffet's lunches for charity. If you have to copy, thats a great thing to copy, or take as an influence. More power to Tim, and whoever has the bucks to bid. My guess.....well over 50m. Way too Low.
Bidding now at $155,000. I calculate a day of Tim Cook's time is worth $155K/0.75*8=$1.653M, and a year at 225*$1.653M=$372M, almost exactly what Apple paid Tim Cook last year.
I wonder ....
* what kind of coffee will it be?
* will she split the difference & call it 45 minutes?
* will there be moist, fresh-baked pastries?
* what will rhey talk about?
* whete will the meeting be: in his office? the Mac Caffe? Another place in HQ entirely?
* will she offer them a sneak peek at upcomong iStuff?

Wait. You PAID someone to come to one of my seminars?? Somebody suckered you. Or me.
PS. I want that video. Should be funny to listen to some of my predictions back then. Yikes! Oh, misguided youth!

The announcement tells us that. The question was where inside HQ, ie, how much might a person see as they come in.

:smokey:
Most. Expensive. Coffee Date. Ever.
If I was rich, I'd do this in a heartbeat, for the hell of it. And if it was Jobs, I'd do so in half a heartbeat.

Not until AFTER I've had coffee with Tim...
having never given the mater a single thought until being reminded of it.

What would be hilarious that if Tim gets a phone call 5 minutes into the meeting with the winner and says "he has to run".

well what will come will come, can't help but to laugh
